I don’t think Alfonso Soriano is coming to the Phillies. If he did, he wouldn’t be the answer to the Phillie problems, but they need a corner outfielder who can hit and could do worse. Soriano can hit for power, isn’t quite as old as he seems he should be (still just 36) and is a good defensive left fielder. Can’t get on base, but you can’t have everything.

There is the thing about him being owed $36 million over the next two seasons. Pretty sure the Phillies shouldn’t pay him that. And the no-trade clause.

The Cubbies are the guys who got stuck with him and if I remember aright, we “lost out” on him the first time.

I really hope that the Phillies aren’t barking up that tree.

I want new toys. Two years now and no new toys. (No, Pap doesn’t qualify. I want bats.). It is getting on in time and no smart team building is yet underway.

Can we handle one more year with the equivalent of another Ty Wigginton?

Toys. I want toys. A couple of guys to get excited about. Man, I think we all need that.

So who knows?
